Douglas is the son of Les Schliecker and Cathy Bertolin. He graduated from Pomona High School and WyoTech. He works for Summit Midstream.

The ceremony was held on the Richardson property on Garfield Creek, close to New Castle — known as the Barkin Dawg Ranch to friends and family members — with the Rev. Amelia Richardson Dress officiating. The bride was escorted to the ceremony site by Dolly and Daisy, two draft horses pulling the small carriage. Intermittent rain showers neither held up the ceremony nor the celebration that followed. All guests were treated to a horse and carriage ride along with a country-style pig roast. Lots of games and dancing ensued before the bride and groom exited for their honeymoon.
